[ISSUE] MusicBee Crashes at Startup

Seems to be an issue with gdiplus

Hello, I have been trying to get the program MusicBee to work on my computer.

I initially installed it on a 32-bit prefix, with no components aside from .NET 4.0. The program would launch, and everything looked good, but no audio would play. When I clicked to play a song, it would show that it was supposed to be playing; however, even the progress bar for the song stayed at 0:00.

I then found this forum with details on how a user got it working. I followed everything on here, and now MusicBee crashes at startup.

There is a chance that MusicBee.exe requires some kind of Dot Net Framework or Visual C++ to run. You can look in the applications folder and see if there are any DLLs or EXEs that hint at one of them. Sometimes they are in a folder called: system or redist

It does require .NET, but I've installed it. The program itself gives an error code when it crashes, but I'm pretty sure it's specific to MusicBee. I did a search on it and got no results though. Here's the error code regardless:

The type initializer for '#=zVCKCcPOT8WE3TruSSJee8XU=' threw an exception.

I think this is related to .NET, but the program doesn't throw this unless gdiplus is installed.

I think it just needs 3.0, but I've already installed up to 4.0, and it still gives this error.If you'd like to try working with the installer, you can get it here. I've tried both the main one, as well as the portable version. https://getmusicbee.com/downloads/
